12 - Best Song From Hold Your Fire

[RushRevisited]

What do you think is the best song from this album?

 

[Moonraker]

Open Secrets, I just have the highest emotional feelings attached to that song, more so then others.

[Midway Hawker]

Open Secrets

 

[the_necromancer]

time stand stilll freeze this momet a little bit longer

[Relaxed_Jack]

Prime Mover.....

 

AGAIN, just cause.

[vaportours]

 

 

Anyone who has been to Rushtour knows it is Mission.. this is my song.. love it.. wish they played it this tour..

[The Notorious B.S.G.]

This was probably the hardest choice for me. I love "Time Stand Still", as it expresses so much about growing older, looking around, living in the moment. I love "Prime Mover", "Turn The Page", "Force Ten" also.

 

Went with "Open Secrets" as it is so emotionally moving for me. The interplay of partners in a long-term relationship, the tightrope we all walk between intimacy and isolation, all are very powerful and affecting.

 

"Closed for my protection

Open to your scorn

Between these two directions

My heart is sometimes torn"

[Phoenix]

Thai Shan.

The sog whitch get me hooked to Rush.

Fantastic melody and I can see the view from the moountain everytime I hear the song.

 

Mission is close to be #1.

[CygnusX-1Bk2]

This should be relabeled as "only good song" for me. Force Ten is the only song that I really like from HYF.

 

My disdain for this album is well documented, um, "elsewhere" for lack of a better term.

[pixey]

Open Secrets, for all the reasons stated above and more.

[Jack Aubrey]

'Time Stand Still'. It's my wife's favorite Rush song, so that makes it special. (Ain't I sappy?)

 

[madra sneachta]

Now this surprises me - Tai Shan ahead of Turn the Page?.

 

Having said that, I voted for Prime Mover (even though the keys sounf loke "Enola Gay" by Orchestral Manouveres in the Dark!!!).

[barney_rebel]

Tough one - I like every song.

 

But two songs really move me. First one being Mission. That song has personal ties with me. Good thoughts everytime I hear that song.

 

Second one is Tai Shan, which also has personal ties with my cultural background. I can listen this song over and over again and feel like I'm on that mountain. My parents were both born in that region BTW. If you read the lyrics, you think meh.

 

But if you hear the song and pay attention to the lyrics..... look out...

[Digital Man]

Tai Shan

 

then High Water

[Indica]

I like Mission because I am on a mission.

[faultline]

[Fuz]

Force Ten

[Megadon]

Open Secrets got my vote. Unfortunately it's the only song I like from HYF.

[Pags]

I chose Mission. I always thought the Olympics should use this song as it shows its highlights of victories and defeats. However... and I've seen comments about this elsewhere.... TURN THE PAGE is one of my all-time favorites. Breaks my heart to see nobody pick it. I wish I had so I could say I gave it its only vote.

[yoda]

had to go with turn the page such a cool bass line and great lyrics like alot of the songs on this album thought it was a good album.loved the show of show were they played alot from this album

[Pags]

OK Update: It appears Yoda has stepped up and gave Turn The Page a vote. I'd like to shake your hand. What an awesome song!! Edited October 14, 2004 by paganoman
